Confessions of a Female Engineer

What happens when brilliance, integrity, and decades of engineering excellence collide with a system designed to silence women? Confessions of a Female Engineer is a raw, unflinching memoir of one woman's 30-year battle against misogyny, systemic bias, and psychological warfare in the male-dominated world of engineering. From subsistence farming in 1970s Ireland to earning dual engineering degrees and a master's in business, Regina Kellet fought to belong-only to be used as "cheap labor," denied promotions, paid less, and ultimately broken by workplace-induced C-PTSD and intellectual burnout.This is not just a personal story-it's a forensic indictment of the Contemporary Patriarchal Construct that still governs corporate culture, pay equity, and women's mental health. Drawing on Maslow's hierarchy, Jungian psychology, and original frameworks like the Power Pyramid, Kellet exposes how women are conditioned, exploited, and discarded-unless they become "mistresses of the establishment."Her near-suicidal collapse, homelessness, and hard-won recovery reveal the true cost of speaking truth to power. Yet amid the pain is a call for male allies, authentic female leadership, and radical systemic change-not just for women in STEM, but for anyone crushed by institutional indifference.Benefits:Gain insight into the hidden mechanisms of gender-based workplace abuseUnderstand the psychological toll of chronic stress, burnout, and C-PTSDDiscover empowering alternatives to patriarchal leadershipFind solidarity if you've ever been told you're "too much"-too smart, too vocal, too real If you believe talent should never be wasted, voices should never be silenced, and justice delayed is justice denied-click "Buy Now" to support a story that could change everything.
